Glass Duo

GlassDuo was founded by Anna and Arkadiusz Szafraniec from Poland.
Some time ago, being charmed with the sound of musical glasses, they abandoned their places in the symphony orchestra in Gdansk and started to realize their own idea of performing.
Today they play the glass harp in duo and with other musicians as well. They've successfully performed with string quartets and various chamber ensembles.
They are the only glass music group in Poland, one of a few professional ensembles in the world.
GlassDuo’s instrument is the biggest professional glass harp in the world. Its range covers 5 octaves. Goblets are professionally tuned and ready to play without any water inside.
GlassDuo have worked together with the majority of Polish orchestras including The Warsaw National Philharmonic Orchestra and Sinfonia Varsovia as well as with orchestras from outside Poland.
Musicians had several world premieres of musical works composed especially for them. The result are pieces composed by Zbigniew Preisner, Mieczysław Litwiński, Garry Eister and more.
GlassDuo made numerous recordings for radio and TV.
‘Glassy’ music also inspires artists from the realm of theatre. GlassDuo has been invited to many local and international music and culture festivals all visiting over 40 countries.
Musicians have brought their glass music to the stages of many renowned concert halls. By rejecting stereotypes they have enriched the music world with sounds which are subtle, sophisticated and truly unique.
